[brlug-general] Not everybody thingks that Chrome OS is goingto be all that great..

[Tim Fournet]

I disagree. This, along with Moblin (www.moblin.org), are experiments into
making computing something more than the tired old (local pc/local
apps/local data) ideas that have held progress back for too long. Getting
beyond that makes things like viruses much less problematic, even if they
still will exist.

ChromeOS and Moblin may both fail, but at least they're getting some people
working in the right direction, and opening up the possibilities of new
methods of computing. The evolution of computing needs to get cranked up
again, and fast.
